Lumsden

Parnell & Newmarket


A shrine to craft beers from around NZ, the Lumsden's outdoor terrace is a good spot to relax after exploring Newmarket's shops. Fifteen different beers are always on tap – check the website for the current selection – and partner with decent pub food, including tacos and pizza. For a smartphone-free time, adjourn to the Digital Detox Space.
